Wells Fargo & Company recently donated $22,500 to help support relief efforts to those impacted by Montana's wildfires. The American Red Cross of Montana received $10,000, the Garfield County Fire Foundation received $2,500 and an additional $10,000 went to the Montana Community Foundation.

"Wells Fargo is a longtime partner of the American Red Cross, and we are so grateful for its support of our Montana wildfire relief operations,” said Diane Wright, executive director of the American Red Cross of Montana. “This very generous gift comes at a critical time for our chapter, and we simply couldn’t do this work without donors like Wells Fargo."

Also, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana recently delivered a $15,000 donation to the American Red Cross of Montana to help them with wildfire relief.

"This generous gift from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana will help us replenish some of the supplies we used during this historic wildfire season and it helps us prepare for the next wildfire," Red Cross of Montana Executive Director Diane Wright said. "This has really helped us put our shelters together and get the relief supplies where they're needed most."

The American Red Cross of Montana has opened 18 wildfire shelters since July, including six during Labor Day weekend. They have 15 trailers prepositioned across Montana that have equipment needed to shelter 50 people each.
